Biografie 📅 3 December 1964 📍 Verenigd Koninkrijk

At Oxford Union, Malcolm argued that extremism in defense of liberty could be justified when moderation preserved injustice. His address brought Black liberation politics into a prestigious British debating institution and challenged audiences to consider whose violence was labeled legitimate. The motion's wording and applause matter, but the vote went against his side; the event was a debate, not a formal endorsement of his position.
